1. Boi Bumba
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 49 reviews
The most popular folkloric festival in Brazil, Boi Bumba (Bumba Meu Boi) celebrates the legend of a sacred bull, who died and was brought back to life by the magical power of drumming. During the festival, various groups recount their own versions of the well-known myth, through a colorful combination of costume, dance, drama, and drumming. While celebrations take place in towns and cities across the country, one of the most authentic of these is in Parintins, Amazonas — also known as ‘the city of the bulls’ — where the festival has a distinct Amazonian flavor, and the carnivalesque atmosphere is especially contagious.

Visiting Teatro Amazonas is a must when being in Manaus. I do highly recommend visiting one of the free shows. We saw a modern balet inspired by traditional Amazon music. Get into the queue about 45 minutes before the show starts. They open the doors at about 30 minutes before the beginning of the show and there is free seating. As it is very chilly inside the Teatro, bring a sweater. It is an opera house, so I do recommend wearing long trousers and propper shoes - not only because of the chilly temperatures inside.

The Palacio Rio Negro was built in 1913 as a private home of a wealthy rubber baron from Germany. Now open to the public as a museum and cultural center. Beautiful yellow building with a unique wooden staircase and period furniture from Europe. Worth a visit.

Visited the Church of St. Sebastian and St Francis of Assisi after our tour of the Teatro Amazonas (Amazon Theater). The church is nothing like the ones you see in Europe but its simplicity gives the church a special quality. On the walls and ceiling, there are many elegant frescoes as well as a patchwork of light-colored marble pillars and several colorful icons. The stained-glass windows are a sight to behold as is the blue-domed ceiling. A unique feature is the main altar which has a pedestal with two marble hands supporting it. If you go, be sure to look up at the domed ceiling and the crystal chandeliers. The church has only one bell tower because the second one was in the original design but never built. It’s important to be considerate of worshippers and not to be to aggressive taking photos. You don’t have to be Catholic to appreciate this church.

The Palace of Justice was design for to be the first Judiciary Amazonas State. Today is a cultural centre, where there are expositions, guide visit and happen events too . Upstairs the palace has the crime's museum, and preserve very well the building, since many of the furniture are originals.
